Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

I fed my ego, but not my soul.

Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.

Love is the action of soul satisfaction.

The thirst of soul is sweeter than the wine of material things, and the fear of spirit is dearer than the security of the body.

The spirit in which one earns his daily bread means as much to his soul as the bread itself may mean to his body.

Belief is as necessary to the soul as pleasures are necessary to the body.

How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies; how slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!

Work for your own soul's sake.

Self actualization is the oxygen for the soul.

Continued work and application form my soul's nourishment. So soon as I commenced to rest and relax I should cease to live.

I love to create and that's what gives my soul the satisfaction.

How long does it take your soul to realize that your life is full? The slower the living, the greater the sense of fullness and satisfaction.

I've seen it over the years, the more intellectual they are, the more work they don't want to do. You have to do both, you have to be able to put in the graft.

The interior joy we feel when we have done a good deed is the nourishment the soul requires.

I feel that I already have the life I love and I don't see how it could be improved radically by any greater material success I might have - bigger advances, more prizes. It's a kind of madness. And the culture of prize-giving is so corrupt.

Success is not necessarily determined by material possessions or accomplishments. You can enjoy success simply by reaching the point where you are perfectly content with your life in every respect and you feel no dissatisfaction or pressing need for anything else. In this sense, you can be a success sitting by yourself in a quiet place contemplating the world.

I am deeply fulfilled by all that I do.

Life must be filled up, and the man who is not capable of intellectual pleasures must content himself with such as his senses can afford.

The word desire suggests that there is something we do not have. If we have everything already, then there can be no desire, for there is nothing left to want. I think that what the Buddha may have been trying to tell us is that we have it all, each of us, all the time; therefore, desire is simply unnecessary.

To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world.

I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.

There is no inborn longing that shall not be fulfilled. I think that is as certain as the forgiveness of sins.

There is also an old proverb, that they who pay much attention to the body generally neglect the soul.

My crown is in my heart, not on my head; not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen: my crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.

Man is more miserable, more restless and unsatisfied than ever before, simply because half his nature--the spiritual--is starving for true food, and the other half--the material--is fed with bad food.
